I always stand up for what I believe in and what is right even if it means standing alone...In life standing up for your rights is never easy but it is very important to embark on this Long and difficult path to enforce and protect your individual and consumer rights.We all must be aware of our rights.In exercising our rights are we truly free individuals.

I have won many long customer battles against Banks,Phone Companies, Airlines, Electronics Companies etc. I have devoted time and energy to demand positive resolutions for myself and people around me. I hate it when one is denied what every customer has a right to...and that is when I find it important to address it and complain about it. I know it takes time to escalate matters but somehow I prefer to address it no matter what. Having lived in America for sometime, I give a lot of importance to Individual Rights.

It is my nephew who inspired me to write this blog. He felt the importance of his rights and the need to address this subject in a blog very early in age when he was unhappy with the services of a certain Airline. It was then that he suggested that I should write a blog concerning such matters too.

Everyone has certain rights but we are usually not informed about them or do not exercise them. We have a right to be heard...and we must never forget that. There is One Right for All and None should be discriminated. One has the right to question and a right to information. With growing middle class touch 400 million and consumerism, Indian Companies need to become responsive to Consumer complaints and grievances. Ignoring such complaints could lead to big financial losses for the company on consumer complaints being upheld by Consumer Courts.

In this blog, I would like us to share our knowledge about how best to address our complaints effectively as a customer or consumer. It is also important to inform people about the poor customer services provided by reputed brand names. But I would also like to hi-light the names of companies and brands who have co-operated with customers and given positive responses. Please do share your experiences too.

You do not win every battle in life but you learn lessons from it and hopefully live to win it some day. Through this blog ,I would like to inspire people to stand up for their rights and if needed fight for it but the fight for your rights has to be fair and honest. I aim to create a direction and awareness for people who are not given their due rights as an individual first and then as a consumer. There are always solutions and there are way to reach those solutions or alternatives as customers through proper channels.

Whenever you have been able to get your rights heard, you should generously share that knowledge as how best to achieve that so that others could follow that too. Pay it forward ! We should share knowledge and in doing so we will learn more from each other. Alone you can stand up for your rights but with people behind you and with you , there will be more force in it and consumers and customers will not be taken for granted. United we stand in getting value for our hard earned money...United we stand in ensuring we get good customer service.

When there is a will there is a way. When you stand up for your rights and for others , somebody will listen to you sooner or later. Your voice will be heard ! But for that you have to speak out ! Silence can sometimes be mistaken as weakness or indifference. Always know your rights and request for those rights to be implemented but if they are not then demand that justice be served.


Always stand up for your rights...

Consumer Rights Consumer Might !

SONY Bravia TVs

 SONY Bravia TVs come with Wi-Fi connectivity problems!


My family loves SONY TVs but I am not a die hard fan of Sony. On our recent purchase of yet another Sony TV, I was compelled to do a thorough research on the customers feedbacks on their recent TVs because we have been facing endless Wi-Fi connectivity issues with one of the new TVs bought from Sony. 

Mostly customers have been complaining about Wi-Fi connectivity issues on Sony TVs lately. And Sony does not do much to resolve the matter. As of now they have not even offered to replace it. The Sony Bravia TV that I received as a gift is having continuous Wi-Fi connectivity problems and the apps don’t even open through Wi-Fi hotspot connection despite the signal being excellent ! I tried everything to resolve it from my end- Power off, restarting, adjusting time and updating the software but nothing has worked ! Their technicians visited twice and even did a factory reset but that too did not make a difference. The Sony technicians are quite indifferent when it comes to addressing TV issues once they receive a positive feedback for the installation !🤪 Also Sony technicians do not honour appointment timings on visits after installation. 

Always ensure that the Sony technician updates the software and adjusts the network date/time at the time of installation. On calling the Sony central customer service number I was informed that the outdated software could be the root cause of the problem of Wi-Fi connectivity and there could be some problem with the hardware. Whatever the problem may be, I am highly disappointed with the after sales service of Sony! 😞 While the Sony technician did a goodTV installation job but he did not bother about the intricacies like software update etc. at the time of installation as well as on later visits which could have effectively addressed the issue . 

A new TV is meant to be enjoyed and not to be worked on ! Instead of their technician doing their job perfectly, I as a customer am expected to try to resolve it from my end all these days. We also upgraded our modem to ensure that there is no problem with the modem/ router in causing the connectivity issue. However all our devices are getting connected to the Wi-Fi at the same range except for the Sony TV.

I would have expected better product quality and professional customer service from a trusted brand like Sony but now I am regretting that I gave them a high rating solely based on the TV installation experience. Now I give them a very low rating on their TV performance and customer service of technician.
